Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 368 Sent to the Hospital

"I want to eat rum and chocolate cheese tart, Viennese shag cake, raspberry Swiss roll, port wine pear ..."

On the way back to the castle from Hogsmeade, Hermione counted on her fingers and asked Charles for snacks.

Charles treated it as if it was just wind blowing by, and his facial expression did not change at all.

"And cannoli, caramel custard, apple pie flip pies..."

Hermione began to count the second round on her fingers.

Charles turned around and looked at her dejectedly. He had just asked her if she had any gifts for Valentine's Day this year, but she started making a wish.

"It's not impossible." Charles used his ultimate move, "Since it's Valentine's Day, if you agree..."

Hermione blushed, wondering if he was going to kiss her, but then she turned pale, and the events of a year ago came back to her mind.

Charles' plan to see Hermione failed, and Hermione beat him all the way back to the castle.

The upcoming Valentine's Day is a topic that young people never get tired of talking about, and the elderly are no exception.

Professor Sprout grabbed Charles after a Herbology class and whispered, "What are your grandpa's plans for this year?"

Last year, the scene of nine owls pulling a rose carriage to deliver gifts shocked the entire Hogwarts. Later, wizards all over the UK knew about it. This year, the employees of the Owl Post Office were in short supply.

"I don't know." Charles shook his head blankly. "Grandpa went abroad for work before Christmas. He didn't tell me what plans he had before he left. He hasn't come back yet."

"I see." Professor Sprout was a little disappointed. There was no gossip to watch this year.

"What about you?" She couldn't stand the gossip about the old, but she couldn't stand the gossip about the young. "How many gifts do you plan to receive this year?"

This question is not only curious to Professor Sprout, but also to others.

However, a few days before Valentine's Day, something serious happened.

"Quick, send them to St. Mungo's Hospital!"

After the spell error incident, Dumbledore immediately issued important instructions, requiring professors to do everything possible to rescue the injured, properly handle the injuries of the injured, quickly find out the cause of the accident, and seriously investigate those responsible; immediately organize publicity and education, further improve education work, carry out special education on spell safety, and prevent the same accident from happening again. At present, Charles Smith is in a stable mood.

In the Gryffindor common room, students were talking in groups of three or five. Everyone only knew that something had happened to Charles, but they didn't know the details.

The door to the common room opened, and when Seamus came in, many people gathered around to ask questions.

Seamus found a nearby table and gasped, "Charles is stuck on the floor of an abandoned classroom."

He gestured and continued, "His stomach is on the fifth floor, and his legs are on the fourth floor."

"I blew up the floor around him and that's how I got him out."

"Madam Pomfrey checked and found that his stomach is full of stones. He has been sent to St. Mungo's Hospital."

The students around exclaimed in surprise. They didn't expect it to be like this.

Harry asked anxiously, "Any idea who did it?"

Seamus shook his head and said, "I don't know. Peeves said that when he found Charles he was unconscious."

The students immediately started talking about it. Although Charles seldom fought, no one denied his strength. The person who could make him like this must be a master.

Everyone quickly started discussing the murderer's motive, and many people believed it was a murder for money.

Soon after, Professor McGonagall arrived and announced to the students that Charles had learned a new spell on his own and had failed miserably. Meanwhile, Charles was preparing for filtration treatment at St. Mungo's Hospital.

He was lying on a specially made bed with his head hanging in the air. The bed was divided into two layers. The upper layer was a fine wire mesh, and the lower layer was a huge basin.

Now that all his clothes have been removed, you can see a piece of stone floor embedded around his waist, and his skin, muscles, intestines, lumbar vertebrae, etc. are all integrated with the stone.

"Mr. Smith is a good man. He donated a thousand Galleons to us not long ago." An elderly healer opened a golden medicine bottle. "Oh, Albus, please help me hold the funnel."

This old therapist named Joseph was a classmate of Dumbledore at Hogwarts, so there was no psychological pressure to use him.

There was a golden funnel stuck in Charles' mouth, and Dumbledore went over to hold it.

Joseph poured the purple potion from the golden bottle into the funnel, and the assistant next to him turned over an hourglass to start timing.

Charles' body gradually became soft, and spread out like a balloon filled with water, and then his whole body became transparent, just like water.

Finally his body turned into liquid, dripping through the iron screen into the basin below.

Water was constantly seeping out of the stone floor, and two young and strong therapists were lifting the stone and shaking it constantly, trying to get the Charles juice out of it.

It is not uncommon for wizards to get stuck in objects due to Apparition and other reasons, and St. Mungo's Hospital has mature treatment methods.

Joseph said: "Luckily he is not stuck in the mud, otherwise we would need to use carbon filtering."

Dumbledore looked at the filtered bowl of Charles juice and said helplessly: "Children nowadays are too bold. They dare to try unknown spells on themselves."

Joseph just smiled. Dumbledore used to say this about himself often, that he became a famous healer after suffering from illness for a long time.

The sand in the hourglass soon ran out, and the Charles juice in the basin began to gradually gather into a human shape, and the color began to recover.

However, his abdomen was much flatter than before, and a lot of his intestines were stuck in the stone slab and had not been taken out. His lower body showed symptoms of severe ischemia.

Joseph breathed a sigh of relief and said to Dumbledore, "Fortunately, the body is connected. Just take some medicine and rest for a while."

When Charles had fully recovered his human form, the funnels were plugged in again, this time with two of them, and various internal and external potions for growing muscles and bones were poured into both ends.

Joseph checked and found that the man was saved, but he had to let him continue to sleep until the missing parts of his abdomen and waist grew back, otherwise the feeling would be more terrifying than the Cruciatus Curse.

Dumbledore finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little scared. If Peeves had not discovered Charles practicing an unknown spell in the abandoned classroom in time, he might have been left with only bones by the time others found him.

Dumbledore decided to teach Charles a profound lesson, so he said to Joseph: "Give him the most expensive ward, the most expensive care, from breathing to everything you can think of, all must be the most expensive."

Since Charles is always thinking about making money, let him pay a lot of gold coins for what he did and make him feel the pain.

Joseph thought this was normal because Charles was the owner of the Dancing Grass Restaurant.

In just a few months, this restaurant became the number one restaurant in the wizarding world in the UK, famous in Europe, and one of the best in the world. Many foreign wizards go there directly through the fireplace after arriving at the British Ministry of Magic.

It's normal for such a big boss to enjoy the most expensive treatment.

Charles was moved to the most luxurious single room. St. Mungo's Hospital made it so that even breathing cost money: the ward was filled with calming incense.

Not to mention the medical resources, three attending therapists and nurses worked in the ward in three shifts, checking on the recovery status every half an hour.

Someone sold the news to reporters, and the next day the front-page headline of the Daily Prophet reported that the owner of the Dancing Grass Restaurant was hospitalized due to serious injuries of unknown causes.

For a moment everyone was talking about the reason why Charles was admitted to the hospital, but no one knew, including Dumbledore.
